On February 11, 1991, we renewed general permit No. CESAW-CO80-N-000-0291
(copy enclosed), which provides Federal authorization for construction
activities that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received February 18, 1993, for Department of
the Army authorization to replace a pier and construct a wooden box to protect
an irrigation intake pipe on Knobbs Creek, Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County,
North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under
this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your
application will be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the
State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for
any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If there
are no unresolved differences in State-Federal positions or policies, the
final action taken on your application by the State will result in your
receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the
general permit and you may commence your activity. only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act, has
been assigned Action ID No. 199301284 and will be coordinated by Ms. Laura
Fogo in our Washington Field Office. She is available at telephone (919)
975-3609.

Bio Report

Site Description
The Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation Department currently owns approximately 30 acres of land
located between Ward Street and Knobbs Creek, Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County. The property has
been developed into a recreational facility consisting of a 9-hole, par-3 golf course, a baseball field, a
recreational center/gymnasium, senior-citizens center, and associated paved parking.
Over the years, the Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation Department has drawn water from Knobbs
Creek to irrigate its golf course and baseball field. Currently a 6" pipe supported by a 4' by 30' long pier
allow water to be drawn from Knobbs Creek. The intake end of the 6" pipe (located 30' from shore) is
located in approximately 4' of water. Knobbs Creek quickly deepens to depths greater than 15' in its
center. The bottom of Knobbs Creek consists of a very fine organic sediment which is easily suspended
and moved. Immediately upstream from the irrigation intake location, an aggregate retail company docks
barges along its shore to offload aggregate material. Tugs moving the barges in and away from the
shoreline continuely stir up and push the fine-sediment bottom material of Knobbs Creek toward the
irrigation intake of the Parks and Recreation Department. This has caused the Parks and Recreation
Department to have to remove this material by backhoe so that they can continue to draw in water from the
Creek. Otherwise the buildup of bottom sediments around the intake would effectively plug up the intake
end.
In order to more permanently solve the continuing problem of bottom sediment shoaling around their
irrigation intake, the Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to construct a wooden 5'
by 6' box around their intake point. This would prevent the accumulation of bottom sediment immediately
around the intake end of their irrigation pipe. The Parks and Recreation Department also proposes to
replace the existing delapidated 4' by 30' wooden pier which now holds the intake pipe. The intake box
structure will be constructed so that water can seep into the box, but the sediments cannot.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed structures will not encroach significantly more into Knobbs Creek than the structures
that are already there. Some short-termed turbidity will result from the construction of the intake box and
pier.
CAMA Review
The Land Use Plan review and comments will be reviewed and forwarded under separate memo as
soon as possible.
Please type or print. Carefully describe all anticipated
development activities, including construction, excava-
tion, filling, paving, land clearing, and stormwater con-
trol. If the requested information is not relevant to your
project, write N/A (not applicable). Items 1-4 and 8-9
must be completed for all projects.

Site Description
The Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation Department currently owns approximately 30 acres of land
located between Ward Street and Knobbs Creek, Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County. The property has
been developed into a recreational facility consisting of a 9-hole, par-3 golf course, a baseball field, a
recreational center/gymnasium, senior-citizens center, and associated paved parking.
Over the years, the Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation Department has drawn water from Knobbs
Creek to irrigate its golf course and baseball field. Currently a 6" pipe supported by a 4' by 30' long pier
allow water to be drawn from Knobbs Creek. The intake end of the 6" pipe (located 30' from shore) is
located in approximately 4' of water. Knobbs Creek quickly deepens to depths greater than 15' in its
center. The bottom of Knobbs Creek consists of a very fine organic sediment which is easily suspended
and moved. Immediately upstream from the irrigation intake location, an aggregate retail company docks
barges along its shore to offload aggregate material. Tugs moving the barges in and away from the
shoreline continuely stir up and push the fine-sediment bottom material of Knobbs Creek toward the
irrigation intake of the Parks and Recreation Department. This has caused the Parks and Recreation
Department to have to remove this material by backhoe so that they can continue to draw in water from the
Creek. Otherwise the buildup of bottom sediments around the intake would effectively plug up the intake
end.
In order to more permanently solve the continuing problem of bottom sediment shoaling around their
irrigation intake, the Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to construct a wooden 5'
by 6' box around their intake point. This would prevent the accumulation of bottom sediment immediately
around the intake end of their irrigation pipe. The Parks and Recreation Department also proposes to
replace the existing delapidated 4' by 30' wooden pier which now holds the intake pipe. The intake box
structure will be constructed so that water can seep into the box, but the sediments cannot.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed structures will not encroach significantly more into Knobbs Creek than the structures
that are already there. Some short-termed turbidity will result from the construction of the intake box and
pier.
CAMA Review
The Land Use Plan review and comments will be reviewed and forwarded under separate memo as
soon as possible.

Please type or print. Carefully describe all anticipated
development activities, including construction, excava-
tion, filling, paving,.land clearing, and stormwater'con-
trol. If the requested information is not relevant to your
project, write N/A (not applicable). Items 1-4 and 8-9
must be completed for all projects.
